INTRODUCTION. 

The building of public school houses is an art. An 
architect who is supremely successful in planning busi- 
ness houses, great hotels, sanitariums, or state buildings, 
may be an absolute failure in planning school buildings. 
The unpardonable waste of money, material, and eifort 
as well as the irreparable injury to teachers and pupils, 
physically, due to the ill construction of so many of our 
public school buildings, have been noted for years by the 
close obserying, practical school men, and thruout our 
cormtry at large, there is a well directed effort toward 
marked improvement in school house construction. 

The ISTew Mexico Department of Education has secured 
all the pamphlets published by the educational departments 
of the various states in the Union and aclcnowledges valu- 
able assistance from these sources. It is our hope that 



this l30ok of plans may be of real service thruout our 
Territory in directing the attention of our boards of direc- 
tors, county superintendents and teachers to the best 
approveil plans for sanitary, convenient, and artistic school 
buildings. 

The cuts for pages 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, are loaned by the De- 
partment of Public Instruction, South Dakota. 

Johnson Brothers, Alma, Nebraska, are specialists in 
school architecture and any school board may make ar- 
rangements with them for special plans to meet local 
needs, in the event that the plans in this book do not 
suffice.

THE SCHOOL SITE AND THE SCHOOL HOUSE. 

"The first problem that presents itself for solution in 
the erection of a school bniltling is the selection of a site, 
and in making this selection the chief things to be consid- 
ered are "size, soil and sightliness and location," in the eom- 
mrmity with reference to accessibilitv and relative dis- 
tances to patrons served. 

While no school lot should contain less than one acre 
and should preferably lie in rectangular form, about 180 
feet front and 240 feet in depth, yet if the land is cheap 
two or three acres are much more desirable. This will 
give ample space for all the outdoor sports — an incalcul- 
able advantage which all rural schools should possess. 

The soil of a school site should not have beneath it 
a stratum of impervious clay which will permit ground 
water to stand in the yard, biit should have a porous soil 
free from decaying matter. 

The surface of the school ground should slope toward 
the road and its elevation should be sufficient to drain 
all parts naturally. The site most perfectly located would 
be one with natural drainage in all directions. It should 
also possess as many natural features of beauty as possi- 
ble, and while it should not be located in an obscure or 
isolated spot, yet great care should bo taken to avoid a 



location where there is "frequent passing, travel or local 
industries that would disturb the work of the school." 

Having briefly described some of the necessary requi- 
sites of a good school site let us consider briefly the ele- 
ments of a good school house. The size of the building 
must be determined by the nimiber of occupants that are 
to use it, but whether it is a small one-room house for 
the accommodation of twenty-five pupils, or a large struc- 
ture for twenty-five hundred, the same laws of sanitation 
should prevail and the same care in the selection of 
material and good workmanship should be exercised. I 
know of no better description of what a public school 
house should be than tlaat given by Mrs. Sigourney, of 
Connecticut, who said: "I hope the time is coming when 
every isolated village school house shall be a temple on 
whose exterior the occupant may study the principles 
of symmetry and grace. Why need the structures where 
the young are initiated into those virtues which make 
life beautiful be divorced from taste or devoid of comfort? 
Why should they not be erected in fine, airy situations, 
overshadowed with trees and embellished with shrubbery? 
Why should not the velvet turf attached to them be bor- 
dered with hedges, divided by gravel walks, tufted with 
flowers? It is easier to enforce habits of neatness and 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



order among objects whose taste and value make them 
worthy of care than amid that parsimonj' of apparatus 
whose very pitiful means operates as a temptation to waste 
and destroy." 

It is in the pioor, dilapidated^ dust begrimed, filthy 
schoolrooms that the sp)irit of vandalism asserts itself, 
for there is nothing there to command the respect of the 
boy. We believe it is as much the duty of the school to 
cultvate the aesthetic side of the child as it is to teach 
the multiplication table, or the single rule of three. 

We do not mean to sacrifice the healthfulness or utility 
of the school house for the beautiful, in the sense of 
building a three hundred dollar tower on a two hundred 
dollar house, but grace and symmetry may be wrought 
ill the one-room school house just as easily as in the larger 
and more costly buildings." 

HON. E. L. JONES, 
State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Tennessee. 



VENTILATION. 

The most important problem in the construction of 
school buildings is the method of ventilation. Air which 
is breathed and rebreathed soon becomes very foul and 



produces a stupor that wholly unfits the pupils for the 
mental effort required of them. Teachers of experience 
well know that children often become uncomfortable, 
dull, and irritable, especially during the last periods of 
tlic (la\-. This is by no means due simply to mental 
fatigue. It can nearly always be traced to improper venti- 
Ltion — a lack of fresh air. The necessity for some scheme 
for ventilation, and its value in the school room, can not 
1)6 overestimated. Doors and windows alone cannot ade- 
quately supply the school room with fresh air. Other 
means must be provided for securing this and for the with- 
drawal of the foul air. It is too often taken for granted 
that foul air will, of its own accord, escape from the 
room if we provide an outlet. This is a great mistake; 
not only must we furnish a proper outlet, but we must see 
to it that the bad air is forced from the room, in order 
to make way for pure, fresh air. 

The only practical plan of ventilation in small build- 
ings is the gravity system, of which the following is an 
explanation : 

The chimney is divided into two parts — a smoke flue and 
a ventilating flue. The one should measure at least 8x13 
in., and the other 16x16 in. inside measurements. If 
for any reason the chimney is built less than 25 ft. in 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



lieight (for instance, in a flat roofed building), the in- 
side measurements should be made correspondingly greater, 
for the reason that the velocity of heated air in a chimney 
increases with its height. 

At the base of the ventilating flue, and opening out into 
the school room, is a register the same size as the cross 
section of the flue. It is a well Icnown fact that, when 
air is heated, it expands and tends to rise. Consequently 
the colder air of the room will be found near the floor. 
Now the heat from the smoke chimney warms the air 
in the adjoining air vent and causes it to rise. The cold 
foul air near the floor rushes through the open register 
at the base of the air vent to take the place of the escaping 
column of warmed air, and it, in turn, is heated and passes 
on through the chimney. Fresh air is introduced inside 
the room, by means of a flue built under the floor and 
conducting the air from outside the building to a cham- 
ber directly under the stove. From this chamber the air 
passes up through several small openings between the 
stove and the jacket, is heated, and passes out over the 
jacket to the ceiling where it spreads and falls uniformly 
over the room. As the air cools it gradually sinks to the 
floor, and with the heavier impure air, is drawn out through 
the register and up the ventilating flue. In this way the 



room becomes flUed with pure warm air without sensible 
currents or drafts. 

Small ventilating registers should also be placed in the 
halls and cloak rooms. 

During warm weather and when there is no fire in the 
stove, ventilation may be secured in either of two ways. 
(1) By opening the transoms and raising the windows on 
one side of the room only. This prevents drafts. (2) Bet- 
ter ventilation, however, is secured by heating the air 
column in the ventilating flue by means of a lighted lamp 
placed inside the flue just aljove the register, on a wire rest 
which has been built into the wall. This will create the 
necessary draft for ventilation, and when so arranged the 
windows need never be opened. 

The fresh air flue should be built from an outside wall 
directly to an air chamber under the stove. The cross sec- 
tion of the flue should be at least 20 in. x 20 in. and the 
cJiamber should be about 6 ft. square and 24 in. in depth. 

School buildings should be so constructed as to provide 
for each pupil at least 216 cu. ft. of air space, and supply 
him with 30 cu. ft. of fresh air per minute. A room 24 ft x 
30 ft. with 12 ft. ceiling, and seating 30 pupils, needs the 
equivalent of a chimney 16 in. x 16 in. inside measure- 
ments, to furnish the required amount of fresh air. 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



Another good plan may be suggested here: Build but 
one flue, but make it 20x20 in. Eun a stove pipe 
up through this large flue, allowing it to extend about 



3 ft. above the top of the chimney. This plan gives us 
the smoke flue within the ventilating flue. It is some- 
what cheaper but is not so substantial as the other plan.

Any system of ventilation where the foul air exhausted is above the breathing line will have the same fault as illustrated in 
hgures 1 and 2. no matter where the fresh air properly warmed is admitted. The fresh air does not circulate so as to give children 
any benefit.

Figure 4. 
The Best Plan of Gravity Ventilation. 
If the room is heated by a stove it may best be set anywliere near" the wall that contains the ventilator provided it is a few 
feet to the right or left of the foul air reg-ister. The stove should not be set in the center of the room. With proper circulation all 
parts of the room will be properly warmed. The stove may, if more convenient, be placed in any part of the room with less harm 
to the heating and ventilation than will attend such arrangement of a hot air furnace. Where such furnace is used warm air inlet 
should always be six or seven feet above the floor and on fhe same wall as the ventilator, not directly above it but a little to the 
right or left. This cut shows outlet under teacher's platform, but the platform is not only unnecessary but undesirable. The foul 
air register should be in the wall at the baseboard. 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

In small buildings, stoves of proper construction and 
size, afford the most practical method of heating. When 
a building is heated with a stove, the following directions 
should be observed. 

SIZE. — It should be large. Large stoves give a more 
uniform heat and require less attention. For a small 
school room it should have a fire pot 32 in. in diameter, 
and should be correspondingly larger as the size of the 
room is increased. Avoid all rims and flanges that will 
interfere with the upward flow of air, between the stove 
and its Jacket. 

POSITION. — It should be placed at one side or in a 
corner of the room, where it will be less in the way. When 
pi'ovided with a jacket it will be just as effective as if 
placed near the center of the room. 

JACKET. — It should be jacketed. A jacket can be 
made of sheet iron or tin at a small cost. Beginning at 
the floor, it should extend to a height of 5 ft. or 6 ft. 



and should entirely surround the stove at a distance of 
from 12 in. to 18 in. 

Eor further description of heating apparatus and the 
circulation of the air in the room, see the article on "Ven- 
tilation." 

With such a system as this, the back part of the room 
is as well heated as any other part, and the pupils near 
the stove are not imcomfortable from the heat. In win- 
ter, a window need never be opened, and yet the air is 
always pure. 

If the foundation walls are good, the floor is al- 
ways warm. The room is warmed in a short time. The 
cost is insignificant. The saving of fuel alone will pay 
the additional cost in a few years. It is a well Icnown 
ffict that a steady fire consumes less fuel than an un- 
steady one. 

The temperature of a school room should be kept be- 
tween 68° and 70° Pahr. Fireplaces are good only for 
ventilation. They are wasteful of fuel, create drafts, 
and heat unevenly. They are not at all satisfactory for 
heatinff a school room.

The school room can not be too well lighted. It has 
been estimated by the best authorities that the amount 
of transparent glass surface admitting light should be no 
less than one-sixth of the floor space of the room. In a 
school room 2-1: ft. x 30 ft. tlie amount of window glass 
should be at least 120 sq. ft. ; and if the building is at all 
shaded, the amount should be increased. 

Light should always enter from the left of the pupils. 
If, however, it must enter from two sides, windows on 
the left, and half windows placed high in the rear, should 
be pirovided. Windows should never be placed on oppo- 
site sides of the room, as the resulting cross light is very 
hard on the eyes, and light from the front is still more 
injurious and should never be tolerated. 

It is best to locate windows in batteries — i. e. several 

in a group — rather than distribute them at equal dis- 

tfinces along the side of the room. 

' The top of the window should extend entirely to, or 

within a few inches of the ceiling, and the window sill 



should be somewhat above the level of the eyes of the 
pupil when seated. 

No window should be placed in front of the front row 
of seats, in any school room. 

There can be no question but that the healthfulness 
and desirability of a school room is very much increased 
by having the rays of the sun shine into it during some 
portion of tlie day. Sunlight — besides being the best puri- 
fier Imowp., and for this reason making impossible a 
great many diseases and a large number of discomforts — 
adds much to the cheerfulness of the room. It is unwise, 
however, to allow the direct rays of the sun to fall upon 
the children, and particularly upon their books or desks. 
■ In some localities, especially in the South, where the 
south light is ver^^ strong, it would seem advisable to face 
the building so that the school room light will come from 
the east or the west. 

Window shades of ecru should be provided for all win- 
dows, and, as the best light enters througli the upper half 
of the windows, the shades should either be adjustable, or 
roll from the bottom, being raised by a cord and a pulley 
at the top.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



Perhaps no one thing helps more in individual develop- 
ment than the seating of a school in single seats. Discip- 
line is easier, more work can be accomplished by the stud- 
ents, and there is less danger of contagion by the handling 
of one another's books and pencils. 

It is easier to accommodate all sizes of pupils with sin- 
gle seats than it is with double ones. In many coimtry 
schools the seats have been so arranged that all small 
children are in the front part of the room and all large 
ones in the back. It is better to put seats of one size in 
each row. 

Desks are made in sizes from No. 6, the smallest, to 
ISTo. 1, the largest. If there is room for four rows of 
seats, probably one row each of sizes 2, 3, 4, and 5 will 
bo best; but if there is room for five rows, add another 
row of size 5. 



Every pupil should be so seated that his feet will touch 
the floor; so if there should be some pupils for whom 
ISTo. 5 seats are too high, place all of these in one row 
and put a twelve inch plank lengthwise under their feet, 
blocking it up until it is the right height. 

Too often the seats are placed so far apart that the 
pujjil must lean forward in an unnatural position in 
order to write or draw. ISTo. 5 desks should be nine inches 
apart; that is, the edge of the desk in front of the child 
shoiild be nine inches from the back of the seat in which 
he sits. No. 4's should be ten inches apart. No. 3's eleven 
inches, and No. 2's twelve inches. 

The aisles at the sides and at the rear of the room 
should be at least thirty-six inches wide, and those be- 
tween the rows of seats at least twenty-four inches. 

The smaller desks should be placed nearest to the light 
and no desk should be farther than twenty-five feet from 
the source of light.

INTERIOR DECORATIONS. 

In the general color scheme for the interior of school 
houses the floor should be the darkest surface except the 
blackboards. If there is a wainscot it should be of some 
lighter shade than the floor, and of the same shade as 
the casings. Above this the walls may be tinted with some 
light shade, as buff, gray, or green; and, if the room is 
particularly well lighted, olive may be used. But in every 
case a light shade of color shoukl be used and in no 
case should a shade of red be allowed. The ceiling should 
be the lightest surface of the room in order to reflect as 
much light downward as possible. 

A picture molding should be put up from which to hang 
the few good pictures which every school can have in 
time. Where there is a picture molding there is not so great 



a temptation to drive nails and tacks into the wall on 
which to hang the cheap and flashy colored calendars 
and other advertisements that so often are the only deco- 
rations. Eeproductions of the old masters are to be ob- 
tained at so low a price now that there is no reason why 
each district may not have two or three. 

The blackboards are not a part of the decorative scheme, 
although many teachers persist in so using them. They 
should be so placed that the light falls on them from one 
side only to avoid cross lights, and should never be placed 
between two windows, as is so often done. They should 
be of slate forty-two inches wide, and should be placed 
twenty-six inciies above the floor in rural schools where 
all grades miist use them. If slate should prove to be too 
expensive Hyloplate or Lithoplate will make a very good 
substitute at a lower price.

HEATING PLANTS. 

STOVES. — The system of simplest and cheap- 
est heating is stoves. The heat is carried by radia- 
tion and by convection without any tubes or pipes 
or other equipment. But for use in school houses the 
chief objections are : First : — Owing to the size of the 
rooms a stove as usually put up heats the air immediately 
about it too hot, while that farther away is not hot 
enough. Second : — The size of the stove is so great for 
a large room that considerable space is wasted. Third: — 
The amount of dirt and litter caused is greater than in 
any other system. Objection No. 1 may be disposed of 
Ijy enclosing the stove in a sheet iron jacket and bringing 
in fresh air from the outside to a point immediately un- 
der the stove. With this arrangement and proper 
ventilating flues the best results can be obtained, so we 
shall only consider that type of stove. 

FURiSrACES. — Next in original cost and in simplicity 
of operation is the hot air furnace. While furnaces are 
more costly than stoves they have the advantage of being 
out of the way, and of keeping most of the dirt in the 
basement, and of heating more than one room at a time. 
Having a cold air duct through which fresh air is con- 



stantly coming, rooms so heated are usually well venti- 
lated but at the expense of fuel. But in windy weather it 
i-" sometimes very difficult to heat exposed rooms. 

DIEEGT STEAM.— Buildings heated by direct steam 
heat are kept at a uniform temperature without regard to 
which way the wind may be. But in school houses there 
must be some extra provision made for ventilation, with 
a consequent change in the amount of heating surface re- 
quired. Compared with hot water heating, steam has 
the advantage of freedom from frozen pipes when the 
heat has been shut oif for a day or two. But with this 
system of heating there is no way of regulating the 
amount of heat in mild weather, except by shutting off 
the steam and turning it on again at more or less fre- 
quent intervals. 

INDIEECT STEAM.— In this system there is a com- 
bination of furnace and direct steam methods. Air is 
heated by coils of jjipe containing steam and is then ad- 
mitted to the rooms through registers. This provides a 
system of ventilation — an all important consideration in 
school Ijiddings. It also has the advantage of being un- 
affected by winds, since the coils can be put at the bottom 
of the flue leading to any given room. 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



21 



HOT WATEB,. — In any country where there is danger 
of pij^es freezing this method is not practicable for school 
rooms. 

In comparing the cost of the various systems it is bet- 
ter to consider the expense for a period of years. The 
original cost of stoves is least, with furnaces next, and 
steam last. But the expense of repairing and maintaining 
is greatest in stoves and furnaces and least in steam. 
Comparing original costs and assuming that the cost of 
stoves is 1, furnaces would be 1.5, and steam 2. 

Bu.t for a period of five years covering initial cost, 
repairs and fuel, stoves 1, furnaces 1.3, and steam 1.4. 

For fifteen years, covering initial cost, repairs and fuel, 
stoves 1 furnaces 1.1 steam .8. 

Summarizing: — In buildings having a basement, for 
a long period of time steam proves cheapest, but where 
a basement would have to be added to contain the heat- 
JBg apparatus, and for small buildings in the country, 
the stove proves the cheapest and most efficient. 



OUT BUILDINGS. 

Each school should have two separate out house build- 
ings, located in that part of the school grounds, at the 
farthest point from the main entrance of the school 
house, and as far apart as possible. They should be kept 
clean in every respect, and in good repair. 

For the average school these buildings should be about 
G ft. square, and 7 or 8 ft. high, surrounded by a tight 
board fence 6 ft. high. 

The vault under the building should be of some sub- 
stantial material and plastered on the inside with cement. 
This prevents drainings into the soil and any possible con- 
tamination of the water supply. Such an amount of dry 
soil washes should be placed in the receptacle as will ab- 
sorb all liquids in the vault, and keep the excreta covered. 
The vault should be thoroughly cleaned at least twice each 
term. 

Proper urinal troughs should be provided in the boys' 
closet on the inside of the guard fence. 

The outhouses fhoiild be provided with windows, the 
sills of which are not less than 6 ft. from the ground. 

See cut, page 69.

ADVANTAGES OF BUILDINGS SUGGESTED IN THIS 
BOOK. 

The 8IZE of all rooms is: the same — 34 ft. x 30 ft. 
Such a room will easily seat 40 jiupils. A teacher having 
charge of more than this number can not do satisfactory 
work — especially in a rural school. A room should be 
no wider than 24 ft., for the lighting would then be poor 
for 23upils sitting at the farther side of the room. 

A VESTIBULE is found in each building. This has 
its advantages at all times, and in a windy country espe- 
cially is almost indispensible. Otherwise the wind would 
get a full sweejj down the halls, whenever the outside 
iloor was opened. 

Ample CLOAKROOMS are too often wanting in our 
school buildings. The offensive odors given off from cold 
damp wraps while drying are often very disagreeable and 
should never be brought into the study room. Cloak 
rooms which are shut off from the main school room, as 
well as protected from the outside cold, should be found 
in every building. 

One CLOSET for the teachei-'s supplies, and one or 
two for pupils' lunch pails and other articles, are foimd 
in or adjoining each school room. These closets are each 
provided with lock and key. 



A JACKETED STOVE is placed in the corner of 
each room, where it is in the way as little as possible. If 
the system of heating suggested is carefully carried out, 
all parts of the room will be equally well heated. 

The LIGHTIiSTG is in batteries, and is uni-lateral, 
except in a few instances where it is necessary to add 
half windows for decoration only. The light is always 
from the left of the pupil. In case half windows are 
placed at the rear of the room, they should be of ground 
or stained glass, well shaded, so that the teacher need not 
face a strong light. 

The TEACHER'S DESK is in front and on the lighter 
side of the room. In this position she does not obstruct 
the pupils" view of the front blackboard, and can see all 
of the pupils seated without looking directly toward the 
full light of the windows. 

Plenty of BLACKBOARD space is a great advantage 
to both teacher and pupils. Uni-lateral lighting allows 
space for blackboards on two or even three sides of the 
room. 

TRANSOMS are all hinged at the bottom to prevent 
cold air drafts from being forced down upon the pupils' 
heads.

ing must be equal in size to the cross section of both air 
vent and smoke flue, to provide the best ventilation. 

The VE]\TTILATING FLUES are of sufficient capa- 
city to take out the foul air. They must always be heated 
to be of any value in exhausting air. Consequently they 
are built in connection with the smoke flue, and on the 
inside walls to be of greatest value. At the base of each 
air shaft is a register through which the cold and the 
foul air of the room is drawn into the ventilating flues. 



GENERAL CONDITIONS. 

Contracl Drawings.^ — The drawmgs which will with 
these specifications form the basis of an agreement for 
the erection of a public school building, for District Ko. 
(^ ), are numbered consecutively, and are drawn to a 
scale of % in. to the foot. The drawings consist of Floor 
Plans, Foundations, and Eoof Plans — four elevations, a 
cross section, and miscellaneous details. 

Chang;es. — ISTo alterations shall be made involving 
change in cost, until the same is fully set forth in writ- 
ing; and the terms and conditions of which are fully 
imderstood and signed by both parties to this contract. 



Eesponsibility of Contractor. — The contractor is to be 
entirely responsible for producing the finished work in 
place; and in carrying it out, he is to furnish all tools 
and appliances with which to carry out the work. If 
plastering is done in cold weather, he shall keep the tem- 
perature above the freezing point, and if in hot weather, 
he shall close all the openings, so that the plaster will not 
crack from drying too fast. The contractor is to be re- 
sponsible for all material delivered on the site both before 
and after it is put into the building, and as this claim 
covers loss by fire, he is to keep the material insured imtil 
the last payment is made to him by the owner, as evidence 
that the work is accepted. 

Contractor's Foreman. — II the contractor does not per- 
sonally superintend the work, he shall have a competent 
foreman on the ground at all times when the work is 
going on. 

The contractor is to be responsible for any damage done 
t.> adjoining property, such as buildings, fences, bridges, 
trees, lawns, sidewalks, etc. The contractor shall comply 
with all city laws and ordinances, and arrange for the use 
of all streets and water privileges if necessary.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



MASONRY. 

Concrete. — The concrete work of all footings and out- 
side walls below grade^ shall be composed of one part 
of good fresh Portland cement, three parts of clean sharp 
sand and six parts of gravel or broken stone that will 
pass through a two inch screen. In order to make this 
proportion efBcient. it will be necessary to mix the cement 
and sand dr}', turning it over at least four times, or until 
no uncolored particles of sand can be detected — after 
which, add just enough water to dampen the mass thor- 
oughly, then add the gravel and mix wet — and put in 
place. 

Brick Work. — Eough brick partition walls in basement, 
and all chimneys and the backing of all exterior walls 
shall be laid and thoroughly embedded in Portland ce- 
ment. Mortar to be one part cement to four parts sand, 
and all brick are to be drenched with water before being 
laid. Face brick shall be used for the visible surfaces 
of all walls and chimneys. All work to be properly bond- 
ed and laid with % to % inch joints, trowel pointed as 
the work is laid, and all mortar kept off the face. 

After all brick work is done, all outside surfaces are 



to be washed with muriatic acid, diluted with water, 1 
part in 10. 

Provide and build into each brick ventilating flue a 
coarse wire screen placed just below the opening of the 
register, so that a lamp may be placed thereon, for heat- 
ing the column of air in the ventilating fine . 

Provide and build into the chimney an 8 in. x 8 in. 
clean-out door at the most convenient place. 

What ever bond is used, see that the outside and inside 
brick walls are firmly bound together at suitable distances. 
Build into the brick walls, around all the openings, at 
least four wooden brick on each side, on which to nail 
the casing. Build into the walls at the top and the bot- 
tom of the base, a string of 2 in. x 4 in.s on which to 
nail the base. 

Where stairways follow brick walls, build in 3 in. x 4 
in. to receive the finish, also provide nailing pieces in 
closets. 

The plate on top of all outside brick walls is to be a 
Sin. X 8 in., bdlted to the wal wi1ii% in. x 24 in. boilt 
built into the wall with a large washer, or a piece of 2 in. 
x 4 in. at the lower end, and washer and nut on the top 
of the plate.

CARPENTER WORK. 

Material. All rough lumber such as Girts^ Joists, Stud- 
ding, Eafters, etc., are to be straight, sound, and free from 
large knots. Other miscellaneous lumber, such as bridg- 
ing, sheeting, braces, etc. is to be sound so as to hold a 
nail firmly. Lumber for frames and grounds must be 
sound and square edged. Floors and base will be of A 1 
Best grade of Yellow Pine. The casings may be made 
of soft pine. The stair treads are to be'1^'4 in. thick. 

Carpenter Construction. — All girts are to rest on 12 in. 
X 12 in. piers made of brick or cement stone. 

All joists are to be set one foot four inches from cen- 
ter to center with a bearing on all supporting walls of 
four inches. When in brick walls the ends of the joists 
are to be leveled so that the upper edge is just on a line 
with the inside of the brick. All trimmers are to be 
doubled, and all headers over 10 ft. long, are to be tripled. 

Every third joist in the brick wall is to be anchored 
thereto by a strap anchor of iron in shape of a T ex- 
tending two feet on the joist, and to within 4 inches of 
the outside of the wall, well spiked on to the joist, and 
built into the wall. 

All joists are to be crossbridged with 1 in. x 6 in. ma- 



terial. In spans of 12 feet or over, use 10 ds. nails in 
each end of each piece of bridging. 

Studding are to be placed 1 ft. 4 in. from center to 
center, and in all frame buildings to have a run of brace 
bridging of 2 in. x 4 ins. run both ways to each corner. 
All slates on the outside walls are to be doubled and joints 
broken; inside walls are to have a bottom plate. 

Where double floors are used the first floor may be laid 
before plastering. 

Plank frames may be used for sash under the first 
floor; all other frames to be of soft pine % in. thick. All 
planic door frames to be rabbeted to receive doors. 

Floors. — All finish floors are to be nailed over each 
joint with 8 ds. nails, and are to be laid after all other 
finish, except the base, is complete. All finish work on 
the inside is to have the nails set, ready for puttying. 

Shingle Roofs. — Where shingles are used for roofing, 
the sheeting may be laid with 1% in. space between 
boards, except over the cornice where the sheeting should 
be laid of matched and surfaced boards, or flooring. 
Shingles are to be laid 4V2 in. to the weather, and at 
least two nails to each shingle of 4 in. width. All hips 
are to be covered on top of shingles with galvanized iron 
ridge roll, or a saddle board made of 4 in. shingles. 



26 



PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR SMALL SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 



liidges are to be finished with ridge roll, or 6 in. saddle 
boards. 

Tar and gravel roofs are made of three thicknesses of 
heavj' tar felt, lapped 6 in. and hot tar put in the laps. All 
to be covered with two inches of gravel, put on hot in a 
bed of hot tar. 

'No painting has been figured in the cost estimate given. 

Painting. — Before any painting is done, all knots and 
places colored by the sap should be killed with a good coat 
of shellac. The first or priming coat should be put on as 
soon as possible after the carpenter gets it up. 

The first coat should contain a large portion of white 
lead, which will adhere to the new wood better than any 
other substance, and will retain the second coat well. 
Pure linseed oil should be used, after the prime coat is 
put on ; all holes and cracks should be stopped with putty. 



Putty should be colored to suit the grain of the wood, in 
light and dark places, where oil finish is used. 



HARDWARE. 

The door locks should all be Mortise locks, and the door 
locks, window locks, and also all the door butts should be 
o:r' a uniform finish, as "Old Copper," "Bronze," and so 
forth. Use common wire nails in all sizes, and use plenty of 
them. A common fault is poor nailing. 

ALL WOEK must be done in the best, most approved, 
and workmanlike manner. The foundations must be laid 
up level, plumb, and true. The floors must all be leveled. 
The door and window frames must be set plumb, and 
must be level at the head. The doors must close easily, 
and without binding, and good joints must be made in all 
work.

ADOBE— ONE ROOM. 
Floor Plan No. 1 and Elevation No. 1. 

East or west light is considered best for school build- 
ings in New Mexico. This building should be set, there- 
fore, so as to face one of these directions. In the event 
that your building must face north or south, plan No. 3, 
page 45, might well be followed. In many instances, 
brick or frame plans may be used for adobe, and vice 
versa. 

Ventilating flues, supply closets, wash benches, etc., 
are as essential in small school buildings as in large ones. 

The cost of this building will range from $400.00 to 
$900.00 ,depending upon material, strength of floors, etc. 
See page 70 for estimate of costs and page 71 for 
specifications.

ADOBE— ONE ROOM. 

Design No. 1, or elevation No. 1, is suggested for Floor 
Plan No. 1 on the preceding page. A plain exterior is out- 
lined in order that the expense of the building may not 
be too great for districts having but small funds for build- 
ing purposes. Note the half windows at the side, placed 
above the blackboard line. If this side of the building 
is not exposed, or is little seen, the windows may be left 
out. They are entered for relief only. Of course, the 
builder may relieve the plain exterior by constructing 
circular, oval, oblong, square, keystone, or other forms 
on the surface, and thus save the expense of windows. 

For a more attractive exterior, we would refer you to 
Floor Plan No. 2, page 57, and Design or Elevation No. 
2 , page 59. The adobe may be used in this plan for frame, 
but the specifications for it on page 79 would not apply

ADOBE— TWO ROOMS. 

Floor Plan Xo. C is practicall}- two No. 1 Plans placed 
side by side. An advantage in constructing a biiilding 
with uni-lateral lighting is found in the fact that addition- 
al rooms may be provided without interfering with the 
conveniences of the original structure. The two wash 
rooms in this building are very great conveniences. This 
building should face east or west. 

The cost will vary from $700.00 to $1,650.00 depend- 
ing upon class of material, nature of finish, etc. 

See estimates of cost, page 70, and detailed specifica- 
tions page 73. 

The same might be said concerning the half windows 
on the side as is noted on the second page preceding.

ADOBE— TWO ROOMS.

Design No. 6^ or Elevation No. 6, is a beautiful ex- 
terior suggested for Floor Plan No. 6. It shows a frame 
roof which is somewhat more expensive than a flat one. 
A flat roof such .as is shown in Design No. 1 for a one 
room building might be itsed and the expense of the build- 
ing very much reduced. Design No. 6, however, is grace- 
ful and wherever the school fund will permit, the board 
of directors should construct an attractive building. The 
school building and the grounds aboiit it should be as 
beaixtiful as any home in the district. It shotild be a 
source of pride to every patron. 

If the location requires a north or south front. Floor 
Plan No. 4 and Elevation No. 4 or Floor Plan No. 5 and 
Elevation No. 5 may be used. They are fo\ind on pages 
49, .51, 61, 63.

ADOBE— THREE ROOMS. 

Floor Plan No. 7 is a coinljiiiation of Plans 1 and 6, 
enclosing a space for wash rooms, closets, and halls, in 
the center of which is found a large wire screen cloak- 
rack. A fourth room might easily be added at the upper 
left of the jilan having a separate entrance at the left, 
and a hall and cloak room between the additional room 
and the left room shown. 

This building should face north or south for the best 
light. If local conditions require an east or a west facing, 
Plan ISTo. 8 is suggested. 

The cost of a building constructed on these plans will 
be from $1,300.00 to $2,100.03. 

See estimates, page 70, and specifications page 75. 

!N"ote that the large arch windows are for decoration 
or relief only. Wall surface decorations may be substi-

This pleasing Mission exterior for Floor Plan No. 7, 
preceding page, is mucli less expensive and fully as satis- 
factory in every way as a frame roof wonld be. Flat 
roofs, too, are an advantage when additional rooms are 
desired. 

For the rather expensive arch windows there might be 
substituted wall surface ovals, in relief or receding, brok- 
en by four keystones. If the windows are used, the 
glazing should be of ground glass or stained glass, and 
window shades should be drawn over them at all times 
during school hours, in order that no light may enter to 
try the eyes of the pupils. Note that these windows are 
set above the blackboard line. Face the building north 
or south.
